1.5.2.1 PIC32CXMTG-EK

The following picture shows the PIC32CXMTG-EK board connected with PL460-EK and REB215-XPRO expansion boards.

Figure 1-70. PIC32CXMTG-EK + PL460-EK + REB215-XPRO

PL460-EK is connected to XPRO Interface connector (J10) of PIC32CXMTG-EK. A 15V DC jack must be plugged into PL460-EK in order to supply the power for PLC transmission. For additional information about PL460-EK, refer to the user guide.

REB215-XPRO is connected to mikroBUS 1 connector (J8) of PIC32CXMTG-EK using a mikroBUS to REB215 adapter (schematic shown below). For additional information about REB215-XPRO, refer to the user guide.

Figure 1-71. MikroBUS to REB215 Adapter Schematic

It is possible to connect only one expansion board and the application runs correctly, with only PLC or RF interface available.

The USB connector (J4) of PIC32CXMTG-EK can be used to:
  • See Application information messages on Console. UART baud-rate is configured at 115200 bps (it cannot be higher due to hardware limitations on this board).
  • Flash/debug the PIC32CXMTG device with the on-board J-Link debugger

The connection for the PRIME API serialization is done through mikroBUS 2 connector, where USART7 is mapped.
